"YOUR TOMORROW"
Step 1 Refuse - throw away!
The first commandment of a citizen of the planet is not to buy too much. Environmental problems begin with overconsumption.
Ecopack for every day, so that you have everything at hand:
• cloth bag for shopping (so as not to take plastic bags);
• transparent eco-bags for products by weight;
• a container for lunch (so as not to buy lunch in a disposable package);
• a flask for water (to refuse plastic bottles);
• coffee mug (not to be used disposable cups).
Step 2 Reduce!
Reducing consumption is possible in any area of life. 80% of the things that are in the apartment of a modern person are actually unnecessary. But someone else might need them.
Step 3 Reuse - use again!
The resulting item should serve for a long time and be suitable for various purposes. And ideally, when it wears out, the manufacturer will accept it for recycling. And if the thing simply ceases to be needed, it can be given to other people.
Step 4 Recycle!
It is necessary to recycle a small amount of waste that cannot be used in any way. The problem is that only part of the waste can be processed into an equally valuable product. In many cases, recycling only extends the life cycle of things for a short time, and as a result they still end up in the garbage heap or in an incinerator.
Step 5 Rot - Compost!
Organic waste makes up a third of all household waste, and it is because of it that many people have to take out the bucket every day. But even cleaning and scraping can be used. With the help of a home composter, they turn into useful fertilizer for plants.
